A Promise To My Etsy Shop

Dear Etsy Shop, I promise that I will add more things to you as 2008 progresses, however, the setting of the sun is working against me right now. I will be better prepared as the weekend approaches to do some mass jewelry making and mass photography while I’m home when the sun is up. I […]

Lights… Camera…

One of my goals for Etsy and the new year was to streamline the photographs in my shop. Well, it’s not quite the new year, but I’m hoping I got an early start. I listed a couple of new items with a new photo style in my shop today. I think I like it better […]

Hand Spun

One of my Christmas presents from my mom was a drop spindle and some roving so I can learn to hand spin my own yarn. While I have not anywhere near mastered the art of hand spinning… yet… I have mastered the art of shopping for roving on Etsy. My first purchase was from a […]

I’m weak

“Outstanding” from 12fifteen.etsy.com Recently I found myself weak and at the mercy of good marketing techniques. I feel safe when I see something that says “only 100 prints made”. 100 gives me plenty of time to wait it out, decided if I want to buy it, test the waters to see how fast they are […]

Merry Christmas to me.

I’ve been a good girl this year. Most Everything I’ve bought or made since two days after Thanksgiving (the day after was a moment of weakness and I bought too much for myself) has been for Christmas gifts to give away. However, I received some wonderful goodies in the mail yesterday and sat down at […]

In the Mailbox

Despite the dreariness of the situation I found myself in tonight (walking down a wet driveway, crossing the cold wet street, getting my gloves wet from my SOAKING wet mailbox) I found a wonderful surprise in my mailbox. The package instantly cheered me up. It was soft and squishy and I knew JUST what it […]

And then this goes to…

This handmade pendant – not yet in my Etsy shop – goes to Recycled Ideas. I found her blog, Field Notes from an Evolutionary Psychologist, through the PIF I took part in last week. I love her shop and hope she likes what I’ve designed just for her. I like this so much that they […]

My Etsy Artist of the Week: Pensive Rabbit

My sister recently introduced me to a store on Etsy that has since turned into one of my favorite shops. Pensive Rabbit is fairly new at needle felting, but her items are truly beautiful and all one of a kind. If you follow my blog, then you know needle felting is something that has really […]

Still blushing

Earlier this week, Denise Felton, a fellow Etsian and member of AREtsy, contacted me. She wanted to feature me on her blog. I nearly fell out of my chair. I’ve seen numerous people featured on blogs and have read their writings and thought “wow… that would be cool”. I was wrong, it is far better […]

At last… I’m finished

I finished the first of a few Christmas gifts I planned on making this year. I’ve been busy the past couple of weeks so this one has not received the amount of attention each day that the rest will. I’m quiet pleased with it and I’m counting on the fact that the recipient does not […]
